LOGIC VS PRO TOOLS PRO
Sending Audio from Pro Tools to Logic Xĥ.

Create a stereo audio track and either record some audio or import an audio file on to it. Check the Pro Tools sample rate matches both Soundflower’s and Logic X’s (Setup > Session).Ĥ. Note: You may need to manually create the inputs and outputs if conflicts persist.ģ. You will need to rename both the inputs and outputs to give each a unique name, if you do not Pro Tools will prompt you to do so. If your new inputs and outputs are not visible click the ‘Default’ button to restore the default settings. Configure the I/O setup in Pro Tools (Setup > I/O Setup). Pro Tools will save and re-launch to use the new device.ģ. Set the playback device in Pro Tools to be the new aggregate device (Setup > Playback Engine). Open Pro Tools and create a blank session.Ģ.

Set the audio track’s input to be ‘Input 3-4’ and it’s output to be ‘Output 5-6’. Open the Audio Preferences (Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio) and select the new aggregate device as the input and output device.Ĥ. Set the projects sample rate to match the sample rate in the new aggregate device (File Menu > Project Settings > Audio), Logic defaults to 44.1kHz.ģ. Open Logic X and create a stereo audio track and turn its input monitoring on (click the ‘I’ on the track header).Ģ. If you are unsure copy the settings shown below.Ĥ. Select the amount of input/output channels you require to be active. Set the sample rate (this must be the same in Soundflower, Pro Tools & Logic).ģ. Double-click on the name of the device and give it a more suitable name to identify it such as ‘Pro Tools/Logic Aggregate Device’.Ģ. The new device will appear at the bottom of the list (you may need to scroll down to see it). At the bottom left corner of Audio MIDI Setup click the ‘+’ symbol and select ‘Create Aggregate Device’.

Once Soundflower is installed, we need to create an alternative ‘aggregate device’ this specifies the amount of channels, clock source and sample rate the session will be using, this is done via the Macintosh’s Audio MIDI Setup application (Go>Utilities>Audio MIDI Setup).ģ. You will be required to restart your computer when finished.
LOGIC VS PRO TOOLS INSTALL
Remove any previous version of Soundflower using the official uninstaller and install this modified new version. The official release of the application (430kb) can exist in either a two channel or sixty four channel version, there are however a few stability issue’s relating to the sixty four channel version running with Pro Tools, and as we will generally need more than two channels I will be using a modified version of the application which allows anywhere from two to twenty channels to be used, it can be found here: With it, any audio application can send and receive audio’. It acts as a virtual audio device, with both inputs and outputs.
LOGIC VS PRO TOOLS MAC OS X
‘Soundflower is a Mac OS X kernel extension that enables audio to be passed between applications. The system we will use instead is ‘Soundflower’. In order to get the Audio flowing between the two DAW’s we must first deal with the audio routing, in the previous examples we have used ‘Rewire’ but that system cannot be used here due to the fact that Pro Tools and Logic can only run as Master applications. Using Logic X’s Audio Effects in Pro Tools Setting Up The Audio Side To keep these tutorials simple I have based them on using a system that utilizes the Macintosh’s Built In audio, with a little thought they could be applied to most scenarios.
LOGIC VS PRO TOOLS SOFTWARE
If you ever wished to use Logic’s Software Instruments, MIDI effects or Audio Effects in your Pro Tools session then the following tutorial is for you, the following techniques utilizes Logic X’s instruments and plug-ins in much the same way as using any other third party plug-in your Pro Tools session, it does not require any synchronization as all the events remain within Pro Tools. Since Logic X cannot be run as a rewire slave and only operated as a master DAW most people think Pro Tools and Logic X cannot be synchronized, yet it is actually quite simple to set this up in reality. I have always been impressed with Logic’s MIDI capabilities, the advent of MIDI events and Tracks Stacks have only added to it’s appeal. The following tutorials presume you have a basic understanding of the DAW’s you wish to integrate in your session and are using the Macintosh Platform. Guide to DAW Synchronization Part 2 Synchronizing Pro Tools & Logic X We will look at setting up Pro Tools and Logic to use Logic X’s audio effects on Pro Tools audio files and then we will explore triggering Logic X’s MIDI instruments via MIDI tracks in Pro Tools.
LOGIC VS PRO TOOLS HOW TO
In this tutorial we show you how to use Pro Tools and Logic simultaneously.
